Recommended distraction from today's abject misery: Go see the @Luthervandross doc, "Luther: Never Too Much." So much Black excellence and joy on display. Sadness, too, bc of fatshaming + homophobia, but goosebumps galore. The live footage of "A House Is Not a Home" is a miracle.

As an editor, I was perpetually trying to replicate the holy-shit moments of that interview with Q. Has a celebrity interviewee EVER had no fucks to give like Quincy? Soon after arriving at LAT, I asked Q's publicist for an interview. Publicist smiled and just shook his head no.

Anyone else notice that the ground ball Mookie Betts hit last night was very similar to the ground ball Mookie Wilson hit in 1986?

Everything that he has said is pure nonsense and doublespeak. Only thing that makes any sense is that he made a decision based on his own financial self-interest and threw the paper’s credibility under the bus.

Had the chance to speak to fellow Lawn Guylander @TheDanielNigro about his long, steady climb from emo frontman to superproducer and trusted confidant for @ChappellRoan and @oliviarodrigo https://t.co/ejXyanWVIz

The dialogue in the new trailer for the Bob Dylan movie is so cringey boomer

Rolling Stone had many friendly, cozy Puff Daddy profiles and cover stories back in his heyday, as did most every prominent outlet. It took Cassie coming forward to open the floodgates and spark investigative reporting, at RS and elsewhere.

I'd read a 10,000 word story on how Diddy and his legal team came to the decision not to settle with Cassie, and then paid her off 24 hours after the story came out, by which time his career and life was essentially over. Probably just unchecked narcissism. God bless Cassie...

Pour one out for Sergio Mendes, man behind one of the great yacht-rock jams of all time https://t.co/eHQ0y25lzT

While interviewing the awesome country singer @laineywilson, I got to meet hunky @glenpowell and his celebrity rescue dog Brisket, who had just come from a photo shoot and was wearing a bowtie (Brisket, not Powell). Only in L.A., kids. https://t.co/JXpiTa07BA

ICYMI: I wrote about Musicá Mexicana star Carin León, his moves into country music, and how Nashville needs him more than he needs Nashville. https://t.co/byHT6Yh0sK
